Abstract

A protective glove is formed of composite material for close fitting over the fingers and the back and palm of the hand. The composite material includes a layer of flexible elastic material for tactile sensitivity through the layer. Optically reflective and dispersive particles are distributed and embedded within the layer for dispersing incident laser light thereby preventing laser burn injuries to the hand of a wearer.
